We used to spend time in NH during the summer - by Lake Winnipesaukee. This was shortly after "On Golden Pond" came out. There was a dealer of old Chris Craft and Garwood boats who said that before the movies appeared, he couldn't give them away. After the movie, he sold them for thousands.
Trivia: In building those old Chris Crafts, the workers aligned all the slots in the screw heads to point the same way.
I worked next to the Wolverton railway carriage works, they did that with the screws around the wooden window frames. The age of Craftsmanship. Nowadays my fifty year old eldest boy makes bespoke car bodies in aluminium and steel to similar standards - but they will cost you a fortune!
